event details

Katchafire’s next Guest Edition single is a collaboration on their ‘Sensimillia’ single with Hawaii’s Mike Love, who will also be joining the band on their 2026 Australian Tour. ‘Sensimillia’ with Mike Love lands on August 7, and the Australian tour runs for five weeks in October and November. The forthcoming ‘Revival 2.0 Guest Edition’ album is out November 27. Speaking about the upcoming collaboration and Australian Tour, Mike Love said "In Hawai’i in the mid-2000s we had a beautiful and thriving roots reggae scene. There was so much inspiration coming from so many places in the world and we had our own underground sound that we had cultivated, with countless talented groups and musicians. Around that time, came Katchafire out of Aotearoa, and I remember them hitting the islands like a storm with heavy roots feel and beautiful, lush harmonies. The album Revival was on heavy rotation on our local radio, with basically every song on it sounding like it could be a single. Me and everyone I knew were captured by their unique yet familiar sound. To be asked to be a part of the reimagining of that album that had such an impact on our scene in O’ahu was a great, great honor. I did my best to do the song “Sensemillia” justice, but to be honest, filling the shoes of brother Logan on the vocals was not an easy task. I’m really happy with how it turned out and I hope you Love it too. I Love this band and I’m really excited for everyone to hear all the different versions of the tunes and to hit the road with them across Australia in support of the release." The ‘Revival 2.0 Guest Edition’ album unites roots and reggae voices from across the globe, with more iconic collaborations to come before the album drops in November. Katchafire integrates vibrant reggae rhythms with Maori influences, producing a distinctive sound that has achieved international recognition. Over the past twenty-five years, the group has served as prominent advocates for Maori music and Pacific reggae, consistently releasing tracks that underscore themes of family, unity, and cultural pride. Their dedication is evident in both their impactful melodies and dynamic live performances, resulting in music
